Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 2, 2021 - Not sure if this was a flawed bottle so not going to rate it. On opening, lots of funk. After a couple minutes, it settled into VA. I wouldn't have called Beaujolais if blinded on this - I'd likely call Jura if guessing my friends' cellars or even a domestic natty producer. Completely unlike the 2015 Fleurie and Moulin-a-Vent I recently had of theirs.

Metras can hit very high high notes but needs to focus on consistency. If you went to a restaurant and had a bad steak and your friend said "yeah that happens but man, once in a while this place RULES" you'd eat somewhere else. I have a 2018 Fleurie and MAV and if both of them are flawed I'm writing off the producer.
